web 2.0/ identity 2.0




The term web 2.0 is very mch associated with web applications where interactive information are shared. Examples of Web 2.0 include web-based communities, web appliactions, socail-networking sites(facebook,myspace,youtube,twitter), and more. A web 2.0 allows all users to interact with other users and to change website content, in contrast to non-interactive websites where users are basically just limited to information that are provided for them.

The term web 2.0 is associated with Tim O'Reilly simply because of the O'Reilly media 2.0 conference in 2004. Yes web 2.0 is a new and improved version of the world wide web, but it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, instead it added cumalitive changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the web.


Identity 2.0 which is also called digital identity is the aniticipated identity of verification on the internet using emerging user-centric technologies with things such as information cards or Open Id. identity 2.0 actually stems from(came from) web 2.o theory of the world wide web transition. It emphasises on an open method of identity transactions similar to those in the physical world(for example a driver's license).


According to the article "what is web 2.0?" by Tim O'Reilly in the last year and a half web 2.0 has taken hold with more than 9.5 million citations in google. Alot of people does not fully understand wat is meant by web 2.0 and this article did a great job by explaining that which was reflected in the beginning of my blog.
